Let's see Coach Song Ji-man's smile. Laughing!

LG's Hong Chang-ki, who hit a hit in his first at-bat in four months after a knee injury, shook off the tension by bursting into laughter at coach Song Ji-man's smile welcoming him at first base.

Hong Chang-ki took the batter's box as a pinch hitter in place of Choi Won-young in the bottom of the seventh inning when the team was trailing 2-3 against KIA at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 13th.




Hong Chang-ki hit a hit in front of center field by hitting opposing pitcher Sung Young-tak's fourth pitch in an unfavorable count of 1B2S. It was Hong Chang-ki's first hit back to the first team in 123 days.

Hong Chang-ki, who confirmed it was a hit and stepped on the first base, smiled brightly as if his tension was relieved by the smile of coach Song Ji-man, who welcomed him and raised his hand. Hong Chang-ki was replaced by pinch runner Choi Seung-min after getting on base and shared his joy amid applause from his dugout teammates celebrating his successful return.

Hong Chang-ki seriously injured his knee against Kiwoom in Jamsil on May 13 when he collided with a teammate during defense. Hong Chang-ki, who sought to return by focusing on treatment and rehabilitation after surgery, made a hit from his first at-bat and announced a smooth start.
